Having jewelry that is special and one-of-a-kind is a great way to start. Everyone wants different and special. The next key is finding the right marketplace to show your work. What follows are some tips on how to sell your jewelry to the right places to gain you the most recognition and top dollar.

Instructions

1. Take many flattering pictures of your jewelry from many different angles to give to boutique owners and to post on the Internet. As they say, a picture is worth a thousand words. Display your jewelry.

2. Make up business cards and pass them out in grocery stores, at church, and anywhere that people will be able to hear about it. Also, wearing your jewelry is one of the best ways to get the word out there. If you want to wear it, so will other people.

3. Create your own website to highlight your work. Then link it to social sites such as Facebook and Twitter, making it easy for people to get to and view your work. List your jewelry with online sites that sell jewelry, such as Etsy.

4. Make an appointment with local boutiques and stores in your area. Offer to show your jewelry on consignment to get them to consider carrying your work in their stores. Showing your jewelry at craft shows and flea markets is always a good way to get your work out to others.

5. Host your own home jewelry party. This is a great way to get family and friends to look at your jewelry and as always, word of mouth is the best way to sell just about anything.
